Student Programs stamp cards. Student Programs representatives hand out little stamp cards at events. Every time you go to an event, one of them will stamp your card. After it is filled up, put your name on it and bring it into the Student Programs office. It will be entered into a drawing, and you could win a prize for going to those events.

Culture. By going to events like last year’s Cinco de Mayo celebration or the Mariachi festival, you can learn new, interesting facts about other cultures. You might even discover things about your own background.

Discover new hobbies. Many events introduce new hobbies or activities. How else would you find out you like Tai Chi if you didn’t experience it at the last event?

Meet new people. Events are great place to make new friends. Who knows, you might even meet a prospective love interest at an event. And if you go to events featuring things you are interested in, like art or music, you will meet people there that are interested in the same things you are.

If you are now convinced to attend some Pierce College events, but don’t know when and where they will be, get an event calendar from Student Programs in room C210. Here are some of the upcoming events:
